Maryland Terrapins football statistical leaders

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maryland Terrapins football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Maryland Terrapins football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Terrapins represent the University of Maryland, College Park in the NCAA's Big Ten Conference.

Although Maryland began competing in intercollegiate football in 1892,[1] the school's official record book has no entries before 1949, as records from before this year are often incomplete and inconsistent.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

  • Since the 1950s, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
  • The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until 1972 (with the exception of the World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
  • Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.[2] The Terrapins have played in nine bowl games since this decision, giving players on many recent teams an extra game to accumulate statistics.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
